FOUNDER | DIRECTOR | PRODUCER

Kimberly Warner is a filmmaker, author, and patient advocate whose work explores what it means to live fully in a body that doesn’t always feel well. After studying pre-med and biology at Colorado College and pursuing graduate training in naturopathic and classical Chinese medicine, she veered from a clinical path toward a creative one, trading diagnostics for documentary and turning questions of health into stories of meaning.

In 2015, a rare neurological condition, Mal de Débarquement Syndrome, upended her sense of gravity and direction, quite literally. That seismic shift became the seed of Unfixed, a multimedia platform she founded to amplify stories of people living with chronic illness and disability. Since then, her work has grown into a celebrated portfolio of award-winning docu-series, short films, podcasts, memoir and essays—all championing the radical notion that healing and brokenness can coexist. That sometimes broken is the fix.

Kimberly’s storytelling has earned honors from the Invisible Disabilities Association, HealtheVoices, Rainbow Advocacy, and Life on the Level. She has screened at Harvard Medical School, contributed to innovative medical curricula, and serves on advisory boards that center the patient’s voice in health care and design.

She lives in rural Oregon with her husband, David, where they tend their small farm between creative projects. When she’s not editing films, harvesting calendula, or writing for her beloved Substack audience, she’s practicing what she preaches: loosening her grip, staying curious, and letting uncertainty become a place of peace.

Her debut book, Unfixed: A Memoir of Family, Mystery, and the Currents That Carry You Home (Empress Editions, October 2025), earned a Publishers Weekly Editor’s Pick and quickly became a bestseller. It is now finding its way into the hands and hearts of readers everywhere searching for steadiness inside their own unsteady lives.
